Kind of an odd set of bed fellows here. [/quote] On the other hand all these were allies in WW2. [/quote] Yup Of course so were the Communist Chinese, but the Chicoms have forgotten and over time they have come to consider us as competing antagonists. Sometimes, we make our own enemies. Most Americans had very little animosity toward China -- until recently. We, on the other hand, have been China's main enemy in its war colleges for seventy years. [b]Most Americans -- especially since the end of the cold war were unaware we were "enemies"[/b]. [/quote] Yep. We saved their asses in WW2 with the China-Burma road, the Flying Tigers, and tons of military aid. They know this and even have a statue of General Joe "Vinegar Joe" Stillwell. [/quote]

NEW DELHI: As Indian troops remain dug in at Ladakh in a prolonged standoff with China, allies are pitching in with commitments to deliver urgently needed weapons and ammunition for the armed forces. France has promised to deliver additional Rafale jets next month, an in-service Israeli air defence system is expected soon, precision artillery rounds will be sent by the US, and Russia will make early deliveries of ammunition and weapons worth $1 billion.
